please me greatly, how about you? :-)

OH visit to our local butcher to pick up our meat pack order
makes me smile.

When I think of the lovely meals we have to look forward to
instead of ready meals it does me good, don't know about you :-)

Spare ribs, silver side, frying steak, sausages etc.

As OH says support your local butcher it's worth it, I find the amount
we used to spend at freezer stores is about the same as we spend at
the butchers.

Don't get me wrong we still buy from freezer stores but not to the same
extent.

Toasting me teacake and taking the first bite :-D ;-) <3

Ohhhhh lovely Mers :-) :-)

I went to work with OH the other day. He does a bit of merchandizing and has to go to some shops some way off.

He had planned to start his round in Wenchester and work toward home, via Southampton and come home along the motorway.

As an old van driver (yes it was a very old van I drove) I suggested he turn the journey round and started at Southampton.

That way the mind numbing journey along the motorway and into the city traffic was out of the way first.

The little pleasure at the end of the day, the reward, was the leisurely journey along rural roads across the downs, looking at the beautiful scenery with no worries about getting everything fitted in.

Just been sitting having a coffee, reading a hand written letter from a friend and looking out at the garden in sunshine with the washing drying on the line.

It's the 'little' pleasures that matter Emma.

Growing our own veg does it for us :-D

I'll go with that Island.

This year I have also had great hurt in that department.

I bought some of those dwarf fruit trees last year and this year there were eight cherries on the little tree.

They were beautiful and I checked on them at least once every day in anticipation of the time they would be ripe and succulent and we could savour them.

They were creamy yellow and just starting to blush and they were gorgeous.

One morning when I went out they were no longer there, apart from one stone still on a stalk.

I don't think I was alone in my daily observations! Somebody a bit grey and bushy tailed was on the case as well I think.

Little varmint!!!!!!!

I also love home grown veg Island, never grew my own
when I had a garden but swopped a bunch of my flowers
with a neighbour for some of his veg...bootiful :-D :-D

Little pleasure this time of the year.........

Sitting on the back deck with my morning coffee, watching the whales :-)

and hoping nobody comes to the door, cos I'm still in my jimjams, robe & a ratty shawl on my shoulders, cos it's a bit nippy at that time of the morning.

Early morning dip in sea followed by cereal bar and orange juice for breakfast on beach . just love it.

Good book to read in bed & fresh sheets dried in the open air.
(& hopefully a bar of chocolate to munch while I´m reading)

Also enjoy a good book, chocolate and Mary would love
breakfast on the beach...but not in Aberdeen, never warm
enough :-D
Smell of new mown grass, children laughing the list could
go on. :-)
